Global Warming
The document discusses global warming and climate change, explaining the greenhouse effect and how greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. It then discusses how global warming leads to changes in climate patterns and impacts plants, animals, and humans. The document provides information on climate change from the EPA and discusses efforts by Al Gore and the Kyoto Protocol to raise awareness and set emissions reductions targets. It also summarizes the approaches to climate change proposed by Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain. Finally, it outlines some of the potential effects of global warming, such as glacial retreat, extreme weather, rising sea levels, endangered species, and irreversible damage to the planet.
Global warming
Global warming is defined as the increase in average surface temperatures due to rising levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide released by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The document warns that global warming is already happening and will have serious consequences for future generations if not addressed, but notes it is a problem that can be solved by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from human sources.
Global Warming
Global warming is causing severe weather events and threatening communities, economies, and national security. Nations are working toward an international agreement where all countries reduce their carbon pollution. The United States' plan to cap carbon emissions and expand renewable energy represents an important step to combat climate change and encourage global climate action ahead of a key meeting in Paris.
Global Warmin Powerpoint
The document summarizes the key arguments in the debate around global warming. It presents evidence from both sides - that the earth is warming due to human activity versus it is due to natural causes. While some data and computer models support human-caused warming, others call the data and models into question. In the end, the document concludes that the evidence is inconclusive and that small steps to help the environment could be taken without certainty about global warming's cause.
Green Speech
Presentation on the Green Revolution that occurred in the European nations after World War II to use this as an example for a platform on how the same changes could be used to restore the decaying infrastructure of the United States to create a sustainable future for the generations to come.
Global Warming SlideShare
The document discusses how climate change is affecting organizations and driving more companies to "go green". It outlines the benefits to companies of environmentally friendly practices like reducing energy costs, gaining tax credits, improving public image, and meeting growing consumer demand for sustainable products. Several large companies that have made significant efforts to lower their carbon footprint and environmental impact are highlighted, such as Bank of America, Dupont, McDonald's, Anheuser-Busch, Tesla Motors, Coca-Cola, and Toyota. The document concludes by posing questions for further research on actions organizations can take to reduce their contribution to global warming.
Burns Park Green Energy Association
The document discusses the need for the Burns Park community to transition to more sustainable, green energy practices and local resilience in response to the threats of climate change, peak oil, and economic instability. It provides information on actions community members can take such as home energy audits, investing in solar power, growing their own food, and things the local elementary school can do to help like implementing a recycling program and teaching environmental education. The document advocates that the transition begins with individual energy conservation and developing a more localized, self-reliant community.
Time to repay
The document discusses climate change and global warming. It notes that while some experts warned of an economic downturn in 2006, they were not taken seriously until 2009. Similarly, warnings of climate change have been ignored for 25 years. Rising energy demands, consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions are putting pressure on resources and causing temperatures to rise. Glaciers are disappearing and sea levels rising, which will lead to land loss and migration. While debates continue on solutions, individuals, companies, and policymakers must take action now to transition to renewable energy and cap emissions in order to repay the debt owed to the planet.

This document summarizes a presentation on the effects of transportation emissions on air quality in Southeastern Wisconsin. It discusses how combustion of fuels like gasoline and diesel produces particles and gases that can lead to ground-level ozone formation through reactions with nitrogen oxides and other compounds. Areas that exceed ozone limits are designated as "nonattainment zones" and required to take measures to reduce emissions. The document also briefly discusses climate change and the need to transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigat...
The document discusses actions that organisations in Vietnam can take to mitigate the impacts of climate change. It recommends that organisations reduce poverty, ensure gender equality and social welfare, protect natural resources, and raise public awareness of climate adaptation. The document also emphasizes building resilience over efficiency by enhancing community resilience through a systems-thinking approach and maintaining redundancy to avoid environmental thresholds.

Executive summary
The document discusses global warming and the efforts of countries around the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It notes that while some countries agree that greenhouse gases are a problem, others are less concerned or refuse to join global efforts to reduce them. The document specifically focuses on how capturing and utilizing the methane and other gases produced by decaying waste in landfills could significantly reduce global gas emissions and addresses three major problems facing many countries by converting waste into power or fuel while also creating jobs.
Carbon 101
Carbon, the way we view it, measure it, control it and price it has come to dominate debates of all kinds. So, what's it all about?
This is the starting point of a 'Carbon 101' guide released by The Climate Institute, alongside a podcast narration by Andrew Demetriou, CEO of the Australian Football League and Dr Graeme Pearman, former head of CSIRO Atmospheric Research. This presentation summarises the book and podcast. Both are available on The Climate Institute's website: www.climateinstitute.org.au/carbon-101.html

- Climate change may exacerbate existing problems like disease, flooding and loss of biodiversity, but these problems are caused or made worse by poverty today. Alleviating poverty is likely a better solution than trying to control the climate.
- Wealthy nations are resilient to these problems because of institutions that promote property rights, contracts, rule of law, open trade, and good governance. These institutions enable people to adapt to uncertainty like climate change.
- Restricting greenhouse gas emissions and providing aid are unlikely to effectively address the root causes of problems or enable adaptation. Sustainable development requires adopting wealth-creating institutions that lead to technological progress.
Cop26 our climate, our future power point
Climate change is caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. The planet is warming at an alarming rate due to these emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels. If warming is not limited to 1.5°C, there will be severe consequences like more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and species loss that disproportionately impact vulnerable communities. COP26 aims to strengthen countries' climate plans to reduce emissions 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. Individuals, communities, businesses and governments all have a role to play in transitioning to renewable energy and more sustainable practices.
Global warming
The document discusses global warming and its causes, effects, and potential solutions. It notes that global warming is happening due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, trapping heat in the atmosphere. It is increasing global temperatures and fueling more extreme weather like droughts, heat waves, and hurricanes. While the US has started to address the problem, more action is urgently needed from both government and individuals to transition away from fossil fuels and cut emissions in order to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

Intense rivalry among delegates from around the world characterized discussions at an environmental council. The Chinese delegate was frequently criticized for China's high CO2 emissions, though she pointed out China's per capita emissions are low and help drive the global economy. Debate on how to quantify CO2 emissions to balance development and climate goals grew heated. Later, a crisis simulation discussed responding to a North Korean nuclear attack on Japan, with delegates debating aid for Japanese pandas and how to address North Korea's actions.
Socialists And Environmentalists What Do We Have In Common
1) The IPCC report and environmentalists have shown that greenhouse gas levels need to stabilize to prevent catastrophic climate change, including a 2 degree rise in global temperatures.
2) Some climate tipping points such as the loss of summer Arctic sea ice and melting of the Greenland ice sheet could become irreversible within decades due to warming.
3) Market-based solutions to climate change through carbon trading and voluntary corporate measures are insufficient and contradict the need for planned reductions of emissions that are incompatible with prioritizing infinite economic growth. Collective action is needed to transition away from fossil fuels and rationally plan production and resource use.
Balancing Economics & Ethics
Pope Francis' encyclical questions the ethics of market capitalism leading to climate change and inequality. It argues that the pursuit of individual economic gain, as promoted by concepts like the invisible hand, ignores the tragedy of the commons where individual actions negatively impact the common good. The document calls for balancing liberty and law to achieve justice, and regulating capital through policies like progressive wealth taxes. It emphasizes caring for our common home and appeals for a new dialogue on shaping our planet's future that includes all people.

What Next For Climate Change & International Development
The document discusses the challenges of addressing climate change through international development efforts. It notes disagreements around the causes and impacts of climate change, as well as difficulties integrating climate change and sustainability concerns with economic growth models. It argues for more multidisciplinary, systems-level approaches that consider environmental, social, economic and political dimensions simultaneously. A key question is how to structure policies and financing to promote mitigation and adaptation in a way that addresses poverty and inequality.
20091121 Globalwarming Sw Group01
Global warming is negatively impacting many industries and economies according to the document. Transportation contributes 15% of man-made carbon emissions, limiting companies' ability to operate as before. Rising sea levels and temperatures also increase infrastructure maintenance costs. Insurance companies and coastal communities face rising risks. Overall, climate change is slowing societal development by reducing company profits.

COP26 will be hosted in the UK over two weeks and will bring together around 30,000 delegates from nearly 200 countries, including heads of state. The COP26 President hopes the summit can ramp up momentum for a zero carbon economy and send a message of ambition and hope around decarbonization. The UK's plans for COP26 focus on adaptation/resilience, energy transition, finance, nature, and clean transport - aiming to provide funding, expertise, and access to climate investment while protecting habitats and accelerating transitions to renewables and zero-carbon transport. Universities will also play a role and the summit is seen as an opportunity to build back better from COVID-19 through a clean, resilient recovery.Dangerous Degrees
Today, CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are around 50 per cent higher than they were 20 years ago, and have been rising each year. This kind of change to the chemical mixture in the air doesn’t come without consequences. Acting like a blanket, the build-up of greenhouse gases is the main reason why the average global temperature has risen by nearly 1°C in the last century. This booklet explains why a rise of only a few degrees in the average global temperature risks our prosperity, security, and health. It explains why it is so important to reverse the rise in emissions within the decade. And why it is still within our means to do so.

Unburnable Carbon: Australia's carbon bubble
Australian coal reserves and resources alone could exceed global coal carbon budgets and attempts to avoid dangerous climate change. Investors in our coal resources are taking high risk gambles on global climate inaction, the deployment of carbon capture and storage technology or significantly increasing Australia’s share of global coal markets. Governments, investors and even many coal companies say they take climate change seriously, but this report shows that if they did, their Australian investments could be a costly speculative bubble.
Climate change, Corporate Social Responsibility
The document discusses various aspects of climate change including causes, consequences, economic impacts, and mitigation strategies. It covers topics such as the key greenhouse gases that cause global warming, effects on water resources, energy supply, agriculture, and economic sustainability. International agreements aimed at mitigating climate change are also summarized, such as the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and EU Emissions Trading Scheme. The document provides an overview of the issue of climate change from various perspectives in a comprehensive manner.
Global warming
Global warming is a major environmental problem caused by the greenhouse effect trapping heat from the Earth's surface. The greenhouse effect has increased the levels of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere beyond normal levels. Some effects of global warming include melting ice worldwide, rising sea levels, and more frequent floods and droughts. The main cause of global warming is increased concentrations of greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels and industrial emissions.

What\'s Copenhagen mean for forward thinking Australian businesses?
1. The Copenhagen climate summit failed to reach legally binding agreements but did produce a non-binding political accord signed by 26 countries including the US and China.
2. The accord aims to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius and have signatories nominate emissions reduction targets by January 2010, but significant uncertainties remain around countries' commitment levels.
3. Back in Australia, passage of federal climate change legislation is now uncertain given the non-binding nature of the Copenhagen accord, with the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme bill unlikely to pass until after the next election in 2011 at the earliest.
Euopean working class struggles
This document discusses the central role of the working class in anti-capitalist struggles in Europe. It outlines a period of defensive struggles for the working class, references the London Dock Strike of 1889, and notes both confused consciousness and post-war settlements that provided some gains. It raises three key issues and questions of who pays, what the response should be, and the need for an anti-capitalist movement led by working class organizations and a working class party and program.
Left Unity in Britain
Notes for a talk at a Socialist Resistance meeting surveying the class struggle left's readiness for the 2010 General Election
Renewables and green energy
The document discusses the potential for renewable energy sources in the UK, including offshore wind, tidal, wave and solar power. It notes that the UK has excellent renewable energy resources and could potentially meet 53-67% of its electricity needs from renewables by 2050. Large-scale renewable projects being explored include tidal barrages and tidal lagoons. Investing in renewable technology and improving energy efficiency could create many new green jobs in the UK.
The economic strategy of the coalition
The document outlines alternative economic strategies to the UK coalition government's austerity measures, including reducing military spending, increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy, bringing banks and oil under public ownership, and providing universal basic services for retirees instead of cutting pensions. It argues the coalition's cuts will have severe negative impacts and that alternative measures could generate revenue to fund socially useful projects and jobs.
Decarbonising UK Energy
This document discusses the need for the UK to decarbonize its energy system through strategic national and local actions. It argues that a national strategic approach is required to develop infrastructure like a smart grid and increase renewable energy. Local buy-in is also important for planning approval and delivering benefits to communities. Barriers include a lack of UK manufacturing capacity and ideological preferences for deregulation, so policies to support domestic industry and encourage cooperation are needed to achieve renewable targets.
The Central Role Of The Working Class
This document discusses the central role of the working class in anti-capitalist struggles in Europe. It references the working class' defensive struggles and previous experiences, such as the London Dock Strike of 1889. It also discusses issues facing the working class, responses to those issues, the growth of anti-capitalist movements from Seattle onwards, and the need for working class organizations and a working class party and program.
globalcrisis_britain1
The document discusses the economic crisis in the UK and alternatives to austerity measures. It argues that wages have fallen while unemployment has risen due to the crisis. It claims the deficit is mainly due to bank bailouts rather than high spending and that cuts disproportionately hurt the poor. The author calls for progressive taxes on the wealthy, public investment, nationalizing banks, and transitioning to a new socio-economic system focused on full employment, sustainability, and equality.
Copenhagen
The document discusses issues related to the upcoming Copenhagen climate change conference. It notes that estimates for the disappearance of summer Arctic sea ice have been reduced to as little as 5 years from now. There is a disparity between reductions proposed by developed countries, which are 16-24% below 1990 levels by 2020, and least developed countries which are calling for at least 45% reductions. The costs of climate change mitigation and adaptation are estimated at $90-140 billion per year. In preparation for Copenhagen, efforts will be made to enrich analysis, bring ecosocialist demands into electoral programs, and build mass movement on the issues.

The document discusses the challenges facing governance of the Indus River Basin, which is shared between India and Pakistan. It notes that both countries have extensively dammed the river and competing demands have led to conflicts since 1947. The 1960 Indus Water Treaty established rules for sharing the river's waters but rising tensions and the impacts of climate change are posing new challenges. There is a need to reform international laws and institutions governing the basin to help navigate these uncertainties. The document provides background on the Indus River system and its importance, as well as a brief history of the water conflicts and the current treaty.

The document proposes a coordinated Action Plan to promote sustainable transport and limit climate change impacts from the transport sector. The Action Plan would foster improved coordination between organizations to integrate climate change into transport programs and vice versa. It identifies several avenues for action, including influencing policymakers, developing common methodologies and policies, and facilitating national and local transport policies. Successful implementation would require establishing task groups and an oversight structure, as well as leveraging funding from participating organizations.Architecture in Kashmir

Ifg report
The Koch brothers, Charles and David Koch, are the richest men in the US with a combined net worth of $80.2 billion from their fossil fuel company Koch Industries. They have spent hundreds of millions of dollars influencing US politics to stop policies addressing climate change. This has paralyzed climate policy in the US and undermined international climate negotiations. The document discusses the Koch brothers' political spending and influence, how it has polarized the climate debate, and their role in blocking progress on reducing greenhouse gas emissions both domestically and globally.

The document discusses the urgent need to address climate change through both mitigation and adaptation efforts. It notes that the world has less than a decade to avoid dangerous climate change. While climate change threatens all of humanity, the poor face the most severe impacts despite contributing least to emissions. The report calls for developed countries to cut emissions by 80% by 2050 and developing countries by 20% to avoid exceeding a global carbon budget. However, international cooperation on climate financing has been inadequate to address adaptation needs.

Some Convenient Truths
Runaway global warming looks all but unstoppable. Maybe that’s because we haven’t really tried to stop it
GREGG EASTERBROOKSEP 1 2006, 12:00 PM ET
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2006/09/some-convenient-truths/305090/?single_page=true
If there is now a scientific consensus that global warming must be taken seriously, there is also a related political consensus: that the issue is Gloom City. In An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore warns of sea levels rising to engulf New York and San Francisco and implies that only wrenching lifestyle sacrifice can save us. The opposing view is just as glum. Even mild restrictions on greenhouse gases could “cripple our economy,” Republican Senator Kit Bond of Missouri said in 2003. Other conservatives suggest that greenhouse-gas rules for Americans would be pointless anyway, owing to increased fossil-fuel use in China and India. When commentators hash this issue out, it’s often a contest to see which side can sound more pessimistic.
Here’s a different way of thinking about the greenhouse effect: that action to prevent runaway global warming may prove cheap, practical, effective, and totally consistent with economic growth. Which makes a body wonder: Why is such environmental optimism absent from American political debate?
Greenhouse gases are an air-pollution problem—and all previous air-pollution problems have been reduced faster and more cheaply than predicted, without economic harm. Some of these problems once seemed scary and intractable, just as greenhouse gases seem today. About forty years ago urban smog was increasing so fast that President Lyndon Johnson warned, “Either we stop poisoning our air or we become a nation [in] gas masks groping our way through dying cities.” During Ronald Reagan’s presidency, emissions of chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, threatened to deplete the stratospheric ozone layer. As recently as George H. W. Bush’s administration, acid rain was said to threaten a “new silent spring” of dead Appalachian forests.
But in each case, strong regulations were enacted, and what happened? Since 1970, smog-forming air pollution has declined by a third to a half. Emissions of CFCs have been nearly eliminated, and studies suggest that ozone-layer replenishment is beginning. Acid rain, meanwhile, has declined by a third since 1990, while Appalachian forest health has improved sharply.
Most progress against air pollution has been cheaper than expected. Smog controls on automobiles, for example, were predicted to cost thousands of dollars for each vehicle. Today’s new cars emit less than 2 percent as much smog-forming pollution as the cars of 1970, and the cars are still as affordable today as they were then. Acid-rain control has cost about 10 percent of what was predicted in 1990, when Congress enacted new rules. At that time, opponents said the regulations .
AmyCrum_201551996_Sustainability Position Paper
1. The document discusses developing rural communities in developing countries as potential examples of sustainable green living. It explores three key issues for achieving sustainability: population control, renewable energy generation, and community funding.
2. Population control is important for sustainability, as developing countries often have high birth rates. Contraception would need to be imported and women educated on family planning options.
3. Renewable energy like solar and wind could meet communities' energy needs if properly integrated and maintained by educating communities. Eco-tourism is proposed as a way to fund clean energy and community imports.
Climate Change Hope And Inspiration
This document discusses hope and inspiration for moving forward on climate change issues through community connections. It outlines concerns about climate change and encourages considering small actions individuals can take that fit their skills and interests, working with others, and finding joy in sustainable living. Potential actions are suggested for homes, transportation, food, population issues and more. Education is emphasized as key to addressing these challenges over the long term.

Think Again: Climate Treaties
Why the glacial pace of climate diplomacy isn't ruining the planet "An Ironclad Treaty Is the Only
Way to Save the Planet."
DON'T COUNT ON IT.
Time is running short for the international community to tackle climate change.
Pressure to act comes from rising temperatures and sea levels, superstorms, brutal droughts, and
diminishing food crops. It also comes from fears that these problems are going to get worse. Modern
economies have already boosted the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere by 40
percent since the Industrial Revolution. If the world stays on its current course, CO2 levels could double
by century's end, potentially raising global temperatures several more degrees. (The last time the
planet's CO2 levels were so high was 15 million years ago, when temperatures were 5 to 10 degrees
Fahrenheit higher than they are today.)

Another source of pressure, however, is self-imposed. Under the auspices of the United Nations, the
next global climate treaty -- to be negotiated among some 200 countries, with the central goal of cutting
greenhouse gas emissions -- should be enacted in 2015, to replace the now-outmoded 1997 Kyoto
Protocol. (Once passed by state parties, the new treaty would actually go into effect in 2020.)
The race against both nature and the diplomatic clock is stressful. But in the rush to do something, the
international community -- most notably, and ironically, those individuals and organizations most fervent
about combating global warming -- is often doing the wrong thing. It has become fixated on the notion of
consensus codified in international law.
The U.N. process for climate diplomacy has been in place for more than two decades, punctuated since
1995 by annual meetings at which countries assess global progress in protecting the environment and
negotiate treaties and other agreements to keep the ball rolling. Kyoto was finalized at the third such
conference. A milestone, it established targets for country-based emissions cuts. Its signal failure,
however, was leaving the world's three largest emitters of greenhouse gases unconstrained, two of them
by design. Kyoto gave developing countries, including China and Ind ...

Assignment 1: Social Impact of Population Growth
The United Nations has hired you to be a consultant on global issues. One of the challenges is assessing the impact of population growth. There is no question that the world population will grow dramatically in the next decade throughout many countries of the world. The members of the UN are working to understand the impact that population growth has on society, specifically in developing countries. Your first project with the UN is to develop a whitepaper on three issues related to the population growth faced by one of these countries. Read the Case Study and provide an assessment based on the questions below.

Overview
Our
obsession with continual economic growth deters us from studying the role that an expanding population plays in global warming.
[1]
About 3 billion years ago, the Earth suffered through a mass extinction caused by catastrophic volcanic activity in Siberia and wildfires that covered the entire planet. Since then, four more extinctions have eradicated up to 80% of all species each time. The world’s climatologists and scientists overwhelmingly agree that we are now on the verge of a sixth mass event that, over the next few tens of thousands of years, will wipe out nearly all living species on Earth — including mankind.
This is not the stuff of science fiction or speculation, but rather the studied view of the people who are most qualified to make this kind of assessment. As anthropologist Richard Leaky, author of
The Sixth Extinction
,[2] wrote in 1995, “
Homo sapiens
might not only be the agent of the sixth extinction, but also risks being one of its victims.”
This brings us to two issues worthy of reflection:
Does the rate at which people are reproducing need to be controlled to save the environment?
To what extent does human population growth impact global warming... and what can be done about it?[3]
The answer to the first is quite simply “yes,” but the solution to the second is more problematic. The damage humans are doing to their climate is ruining the atmosphere surrounding their planet. At the rate this damage is increasing, at some point in the future there will be no atmosphere left to protect life on Earth from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. Compared to other planets in our solar system, Earth has mild temperatures, thanks largely to the protective gases of its atmosphere.
However, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (around 1775), those gases have become stuck in the atmosphere, causing heat radiating from the sun to reflect back to Earth (rather than exiting to space). The result is that oceans have become warmer and glaciers are melting, including parts of Antarctica. If we think of that continent as the stopper in a bottle, its melting away will release all the water it is holding back. This will raise sea levels to uncontrollable lev.

This document discusses the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa from November 28th to December 9th, 2011. It notes that global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels have risen 49% since 1990 despite past conferences like Copenhagen and Cancun that aimed to adopt policies to reduce emissions. Experts argue that more urgent action is needed by 2020 to prevent global temperature increases beyond 2°C from pre-industrial levels. The Durban conference aims to finalize agreements from Cancun on financing climate adaptation and mitigation efforts in developing countries, as well as forest protection and clean technology cooperation.
Glasgow climate pact - more questions than answers
UN Climate Change Conference concluded on the 13th of November 2021 with nearly 200 counties agreeing to the Glasgow Climate Pact. It will take combined effort, increased ambition, and action for progress to be made in keeping 1.5 °C within reach and tackling climate change.
Global Road Technology takes a contrarian approach by looking at the questions that remain after the Glasgow Climate Pact
KyotoPolicy
The document discusses the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement aimed at addressing climate change by regulating greenhouse gas emissions. It examines the Kyoto Protocol's effectiveness by comparing it to other international environmental agreements like the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and Montreal Protocol. The document analyzes climate change and greenhouse gas emissions as a tragedy of the commons problem. It evaluates the Kyoto Protocol's mechanisms for regulating emissions and incentivizing reductions, finding they have faced challenges in achieving emissions targets due to competing interests among nations and industries.
Emission Trading
Emission trading allows countries that have exceeded their emission limits under the Kyoto Protocol to purchase excess allowances from countries that have unused allowances. It has grown into a multibillion dollar market with five established trading platforms. However, critics argue that the costs of reducing emissions through trading schemes are high and benefits are uncertain. They also believe the efforts would be better spent addressing more pressing issues like poverty. Supporters view it as a viable way to mitigate climate change through a sustainable economic model.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
